Published: 26 November 2009

QUEBEC CITY (CIS) - Ten all-Canadians will take the field on Saturday when the No. 2-ranked Calgary Dinos and No. 4 Queen's Gaels battle for CIS football supremacy.

The 45th Desjardins Vanier Cup is set for 12 noon at PEPS Stadium on the campus of Laval University and will be televised live on TSN and Radio-Canada. The championship game is being staged in the province of Quebec for the first time in history and outside of Ontario for only the second time since the inaugural national final in 1965. Saskatoon hosted the event in 2006.
